May 3rd: Webinar – Unexpected Applications: Leveraging Our New Survey Platform to Enhance UCN’s Strategic & Operational Capabilities

Date: May 3, 2024
Time: 11:00 AM PDT/ 1:00PM CST/ 2:00EST
Link: Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6UqywWnzRxqXS-OPLZJkoA)

Please join the colleagues from University College of the North (UCN) next Friday, on May 3 for their presentation that won the Best Presentation Award at the 2023 CIRPA Conference in Winnipeg. The team will also attend the Association for Institutional Research conference in Denver where they will present their session:

UCN recently changed course evaluation survey systems. The new system offered additional capabilities, some eagerly anticipated, others unexpected. Institutional Analysis & Planning (IA&P) has leveraged these capabilities to streamline operational processes and add new feedback loops that were previously not practical. By leveraging Qualtrics’ dynamic features and functions, we have gone from a data collection system to a platform that offers advanced analysis, reporting, and workflow. This presentation will delve into the unexpected uses of survey platforms and explore how they can be effectively employed to improve operational aspects and support strategic initiatives at a post-secondary institution.

The forum will feature two expert speakers in Dr. Jason Simon and Dr. Simon Bates:

Dr. Jason Simon serves as Associate Vice President of Data, Analytics and Institutional Research (DAIR) at the University of North Texas. He leads a comprehensive enterprise-wide data warehouse team of 13 that brings together data sources from across campus to promote data informed decision making. With his 30 years of experience in higher education, he is a frequent speaker at local, regional, and national conferences on data, analytics, AI/NLP, and institutional culture.

 

 

Dr. Simon Bates is a multi-award-winning Professor of Teaching in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UBC Vancouver, who also serves as Vice-Provost and Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning. His work in the area of technology-led educational enhancement and research, spanning some 20 years, has centered around three basic questions: How well are the courses we teach helping students learn? How might we improve upon these outcomes? How will we know that we have?
